New Podcast "How to Date" Offers Insights From the Dating Trenches

Elizabeth Day, a British writer, and Mel Schilling, a dating coach, share their experiences and expertise in the newly launched podcast "How to Date," designed to help individuals navigate the complexities of dating today.

In the ever-evolving world of dating, a new voice emerges to guide those navigating the often bewildering landscape of modern relationships. British writer and podcaster Elizabeth Day, alongside expert dating coach Mel Schilling, has launched the podcast "How to Date," perfectly timed for the Valentine’s Day season.

After experiencing a difficult divorce and a string of long-term relationships, Day found herself thrust into the dating scene, where dating apps reigned supreme. At 46 years old, and having met her husband through Hinge, Day reflected on her initial experiences. “It was such a jungle out there,” she remarked in a recent video interview.

Day’s new podcast serves as a limited series offshoot of her acclaimed show "How to Fail," which is currently in its 20th season. Her co-host, Mel Schilling, has deep expertise as a dating coach, notably known for her role in the reality television series “Married at First Sight.” Both women share a common story of finding love online at the age of 39, giving them a relatable perspective to help others.

Determined to be a beacon for singles seeking guidance, Day expressed her vision: “I want to teach the world how to date. I really would have liked to have a podcast to turn to that could’ve guided me through.” This initiative underscores the importance of providing support and advice in a dating world that continues to evolve, especially with the growing presence of digital platforms.

In a modern era where relationships are increasingly influenced by technology, "How to Date" promises to equip listeners with the insights and strategies they need to navigate love with confidence.
